And African Americans, one of us wrote earlier this week, happen to be one of the few voting blocs with a solid net-positive view of the real estate mogul. According to a February NBC/WSJ poll, 27 percent of black respondents have a favorable opinion of Trump, while 22 percent take a negative view. (Compare that to 26% positive/ 29% negative overall.)

Referring to poll numbers that show enduringly high support for President Barack Obama among black voters, Trump pointed to race as a reason that he – like Hillary Clinton before him– would be unable to capture more African-American support.

“Unfortunately, it seems that, you know, the numbers you cite are very, very frightening numbers," he said.

Trump is expected to make a decision on a presidential run by June.
Per a written statement, "On the May 22nd Season Finale of Celebrity Apprentice, Mr. Trump may announce the time and place of a press conference at which time he will make a statement as to whether or not he will run for President of the United States."

"I have a great relationship with the blacks"??? If this doesn't put some kind of gargantuan nail in his run-for-office coffin, I don't know what does. What an ignorant thing to state - Don, who are you trying to convince? Me - or you?
